Liu Gouwa and Zhang San and others, when they returned to the cottage hall, everyone in the cottage was waiting for them to come back to get their ideas, and Radar Gaoqiang was also present, but the two of them still had some life with everyone, a little away from everyone, and the big cow was very arrogant, childlike and unfamiliar, but he was a self-cooked, and he fought with fools and others, and he didn't stop until Liu Gouwa arrived. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Seeing Liu Gouwa coming back, Li Fangzhu hurriedly greeted him, and said worriedly: "Big head, now that the state city is under martial law, there is not much food in our cottage, how can this be good?" ”

"Uncle Li, don't worry, there is always a way, our cottage didn't survive like this before." Liu Gouwa comforted Li Fang.

"Big head, the situation seems to be a little bad this time, I heard that this army of the imperial court is menacing, the forward army has just arrived in Songzhou City, and the army behind has also followed, and the state city is surrounded by water, and we have also stationed a team of officers and soldiers under the mountain at this time." Deng Ergou said.

"So fast? When did this happen? Liu Gouwa heard Zhang San say in the back mountain, the vanguard of the imperial army had just arrived in Songzhou, and was confronting Shi Weiyi's army, so he rushed back, and now he heard Deng Ergou say that the follow-up army of the imperial court had also arrived, and couldn't help but look at Wu Sangui, and asked with some surprise.

Wu Sangui stood up and said to Liu Gouwa: "Brother, the news transmission of our cottage is time-limited, the news in the morning can only be received in the afternoon, the vanguard army of the imperial court arrived in Songzhou in the morning, and the follow-up army arrived in Songzhou at noon, when we received the news on the mountain, there was the illusion that the two armies arrived at the same time." ”

After listening to Wu Sangui's words, Liu Gouwa suddenly realized that in ancient times, communication mainly relied on cavalry messengers and flying pigeons to transmit books, and neither of these things did exist in Hutou Mountain, only relying on people's two legs to go up and down the mountain. Therefore, when the news of the state city was transmitted back to Hutou Mountain, there was a delay, resulting in the simultaneous arrival of the vanguard of the imperial army.

I heard that a court army was also stationed at the foot of Hutou Mountain, and thinking that Li Si had led people down the mountain to buy grain, Liu Gouwa was a little worried about their safety, and couldn't help but ask: "Li Si, how long have they been down the mountain, and haven't they come back yet?" ”

As soon as Liu Gouwa's voice fell, a figure walked in from the door of the main hall and said, "Big brother, I'm back." I saw Li Si coming in, Li Si's clothes were in tatters, and there were a few faint traces of blood on his face, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"How did it get like this, did something happen?" Liu Gouwa looked at Li Si, who looked embarrassed, and asked puzzledly.

"I don't know when an army came from the mountain, it was extremely fierce, much more powerful than the previous army, and I didn't pick up the property we threw down, and I wanted to block our back road, fortunately, we saw the opportunity early, ran along the side of the mountain, and escaped their interception, but all the property that was brought down the mountain to buy food was left at the bottom of the mountain, and I failed my brother's entrustment, and I asked my brother to forgive me." Li Si said helplessly.

Liu Gouwa knew that the people of Hutou Mountain would not give up their belongings easily, but Li Si threw away the belongings he carried with him for buying grain, tempted those pursuers, and made his face scarred and embarrassed, which showed that the situation at that time was extremely dangerous, and he couldn't help but say: "As long as you return safely, those things outside your body will come back when you go, don't worry about it anymore." ”

I heard that these armies don't love money, obviously they don't really love money, but the military discipline is strict, and those sergeants don't dare to offend easily, such an army is the most terrible and dangerous army, Liu Gouwa couldn't help but be a little worried, and then asked: "I don't know whose army is coming down from the mountain?" ”

"I heard that the general who led the army was a captain, called Guo Wei's big black man, with a flying bird painted on his face, and his appearance was a little scary." Deng Ergou replied.

"Guo Wei Guo Qi'er?" When Liu Gouwa heard this, she was taken aback and asked in surprise. This is a well-known typical figure in history, the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, like thunder, no wonder Liu Gouwa was surprised.

Everyone in the main hall couldn't help but be a little inexplicable when they saw Liu Gouwa's fuss, and they didn't know why he had such a big reaction when he heard the name of the leading generals under the mountain.

"Brother, are you okay, is this Guo Wei famous?" Seeing that Liu Gouwa's face turned pale as if she was frightened when she heard Guo Wei's name, Li Si couldn't help but ask him with concern.

"Oh, nothing." Liu Gouwa hurriedly covered up, now Guo Wei is a captain, and he is not famous, and after ten or eight years, it will be called famous, shaking the world, and now he can't explain it to them, Liu Gouwa turned to Wu Sangui and asked: "Brother Sangui, you can find out the army of the imperial court in the south in the state city, who led the army?" ”

"Who led the army, I didn't find out, but the vanguard officer seems to be called Shi Hongzhao, and he is also a rude and fierce man, with a square face and a big mouth." Wu Sangui replied.

I heard that the vanguard of the imperial court was Shi Hongzhao, Liu Gouwa was shocked again, although his fame was not as loud as Guo Wei's, but they were all the future emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan, the heavy subordinate generals, the future Hou Han State ministers, could it be that Liu Zhiyuan's relatives came, Liu Gouwa wondered in his heart.

Liu Gouwa knows that although Liu Zhiyuan is incompetent in governing the country, he is very good at leading troops to fight, not to mention being brave and good at fighting, it is said that whenever he fights, he always wins more and loses less, and has been highly praised by the emperors of the two dynasties. If he really led the army to come, he and the others couldn't be careless, and couldn't help but ask the owner of Li: "Uncle Li, how much grain and grass do we still have in our cottage now?" ”

Li Fang Master stood up and said to Liu Gouwa: "Datou people, there are still more than a month's rations on the mountain, plus the dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms picked on the mountain, it can barely last for another half a month, as for the horse grass and the like, a few days ago, the four-headed people took people down the mountain and bought some from nearby farmers, and they were relatively rich." ”

"From today onwards, the population of the people on the mountain will be halved, and women, children, old and children will be mobilized to pick more food on the mountain, dry it and store it, unless necessary, the people on the mountain are not allowed to go down the mountain at will to cause trouble, and the mountain passes must strengthen their precautions, and the light and dark posts must also be doubled to prevent being attacked by others." Liu Gouwa said matter-of-factly.

Listening to what Liu Gouwa said, it was serious, as if facing a great enemy, everyone on the mountain was stunned, and they didn't know what happened. Huang San was full of questions, and couldn't help asking: "Big head, what happened, why did the imperial court send some officers and soldiers this time, we should be afraid of them like tigers, didn't Shi Weiyi can't help us before, why should we be afraid of them." ”

Everyone on the mountain also responded, Tang Bohu opened his big mouth, and shouted: "Yes, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, brother don't be afraid, I don't believe it, aren't they raised by their father." ”

Although Da Niu had just come to Hutou Mountain, he was not as silent as Radar and Gao Qiang, and when he heard the people on the mountain coaxing and threatening to fight with the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, he couldn't help but be full of interest, rubbing his hands, rolling up his sleeves and pulling up his posture.

"They are different from Shi Weiyi's army, anyway, you won't be wrong if you listen to me, otherwise you will regret it." The people of Hutou Mountain have never seen any strong army, and they all think that the army of the imperial court is as incompetent as the army of Shi Weiyi and Hao Dongqing, and everyone has a contempt for it, and Liu Gouwa can't explain it in detail, so he can only say this.
